on forgiveness

maybe today
is a good day
to forgive someone
unasked

to empty out
leftover anger
and hurt
and pain

to crumble the remnants
of bad feelings
between your fingertips
and release them
loosely, now light enough
the wind can bear
them up and
away,

until they become
unseen and maybe,
unthought.

maybe today
is a good day
for forgiveness.

maybe forgiveness
is what makes
a day
good.
